Offender Watch

The Idaho CountySheriff’s Office is also now making available, a citizen-friendly, very easy to use, sex offender registry, enabling citizens to search for the presence of registered sex offenders in proximity to their homes, place of work, schools and day cares. All partner agency databases are linked together, enabling seamless display of offenders from any jurisdiction in the county or region.

The OffenderWatch database enables citizens anywhere in Idaho County, to see maps and get email notifications concerning offenders near any address important to them. Citizens may enter any address of interest to them, and see a map and listing of offenders within their preferred radius of that address. Then, they may confidentially register the address to be continuously monitored by the agency, which will send to them an email alerting them if an offender or predator should register an address within their preferred radius of their registered address. Usually, citizens will register their homes, work addresses, parks, playgrounds, bus stops or other addresses of interest to them.

Citizens may also confidentially register to be notified if a specific offender, who they wish to track, moves from his present address. Citizens may register as many addresses as they like, at no cost to them.

Citizens may access the Idaho County Sheriff’s Office Offender Watch Community Web Page 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week.
